Quick Blender Texturing Guide

[LochSnesMonster]

(This was requested, not sure how in depth I should go with this so I'm only covering diffuse textures)


Import blank model, then switch view to Material View, next to the Object/Edit Mode dropdown:

• Adjust lighting properties or add a new light if you can't see anything yet
  

• 
  

Go to the Materials Tab on the right sidebar:

• Click a material in the Materials Box to make it active
  

• 
  

Go to the Textures Tab next to the materials tab:

• Make sure the Materials Icon is highlighted
  
• Add a New Texture with the + Icon if there isn't one there already
  
• Click Open under the Image section and search the folders for the texture. (Its usually the same name as the current material selected)
  
• 
  

Results (I didnt add the face textures yet, this ones not perfect.)
